What is Rhetoric?

Показать описание

What is Rhetoric? It's one of the oldest areas of study in history (about 400 BC). Rhetoric is all about the study of persuasive communication and is grounded in the teachers of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero and sophists like Protagoras, Gorgias, and Isocrates. We'll define and explain and show how we teach it in communication and English classes in school but it also has numerous applications to life today in public life, politics, professional settings, and the media.

Thanks, English is my second language! I’m from South Africa. I love communication and I'm a preacher. Wish I can improve my vocabulary and my art of speaking and writing in English. I’ll follow your videos. Thank you 🙏🏾

You explained and introduced this topic better than my university if I’m honest! Sometimes it’s better to barely scratch the surface on communication than break it all down immediately and expect students to take it in. Thank you. This helped so much!!

I some time have an issue because I have what I Want to say on my mind but cannot find words to use. Sometimes I get pretty upset and use bad language or not so thought out words. This is why I want to improve my communication. Thanks

Great intro for the topic. I've been a little skeptical on taking this course of Harvard but now it's all clear to me. Thanks to you sir!

1. Rhetoric: Plato sophist, writting procedure
2. Sophists added more volume while philosophers added more substance
3. Creating democracies was essential but at the same time democracies needed many fixes

You are very enjoyable to listen to. Your voice and facial expressions exude encouragement and positivity, like a warm cup of cocoa ☕

Thank you for being concise but still comprehensible. This is quite a complex subject, and you have helped me understand it. I appreciate it.

I always find myself captivating people just by speaking. Once I had an exit interview leaving a job as an Executive Assistant, and I asked this CEO what I should work with next. His answer was: “Whatever you would sell, I would buy it.” Interestingly enough I’ve always been uncomfortable speaking in front of people. It contradicts my life in general as I get attention as soon as I open my mouth.
